New York Fashion Week – Brooks Brothers Black Fleece Fall/Winter 2013

Black Fleece is always consistent and produces great clothing which can be worn by all body types. Thom Browne does a wonderful job reinterpreting Brooks Brothers’ archival pieces and this season, the color palate consisted of gold, plum, red, military green and raspberry. These colors were primarily used on the tartan pieces which included a double breasted flannel shorts suit and a tartan jacket. The usual white, navy, gray and black was used on the majority of the collection and some of my favorites were the large scale tartan topcoat, cashmere down parka and the black French lace dinner jacket. The most impressive part of the collection was the footwear for both, mens and womens. I really like the men’s hybrid captoe/wingtip shoe and the women’s moc-toe derby heels with the gray suede tassels. All in all, another solid collection from Black Fleece.
